Hello PeteMish!
Wireless Android auto does use a Wi-Fi direct connection in order to present its screen to your car audio deck. It connects first to Bluetooth and then negotiates a Wi-Fi direct connection, and once complete, displays as expected.
This negotiation can fail or be impaired due several factors.
- wi-fi congested area
- applications on the device that may control or interfere with the Wi-Fi connection
Please connect your device directly to your audio deck and verify a over the wire Android Auto works as expected.
Then, if it does, put your device into safe mode and try the wireless connection
Instructions to enter safe mode:<br><ol><li><p data-prewrap="true">Press and hold the power button until the "Power menu" appears</p></li><li><p data-prewrap="true">Press and hold on the "Restart" and a pop-up should appear to reboot to safe mode.</p></li><li><p data-prewrap="true">Press 'OK' and your device will reboot into safe mode.</p></li><li><p data-prewrap="true">You can verify you are in safe mode by seeing the "Safe mode" watermark in the lower-left of the screen.</p></li><li><p data-prewrap="true">In order to get back into normal boot mode, simply restart the device by either clicking 'Restart' in the power menu or by shutting down and rebooting.</p></li></ol> |

Once in Safe mode, retry the connection.
Let me know what your results are.
Thanks,
